Hooray for sock creatures!

So...I made some sock creatures tonight (used real socks this time). Strangely enough, the "easy" patterns were the hardest for me to do. The bunny was my favorite...I will definitely be making more of him.

My adorable little bunny!

Side view so you can see his/her ears.

Squarish turtle.

Strange (but cute) fish.

Well, that's it for my creativity tonight. I'm completely out of ideas...for now. I think I will go put some of my rag rug material in a bag for tomorrow. I'm supposed to make an appearance at a 1st birthday party for a friend's baby, so a rag rug will give me something to do (especially since my hubby volunteered to show up early to help grill).

Sock Creature

Tonight I sewed my first sock creature! But I used a polo-type t-shirt instead of a sock so I'm not sure it really counts lol. I did use the same pattern as for a sock, but didn't want to completely mess up one of my long socks if it turned out terrible. I think it looks pretty good though, if I do say so myself. It is a snake (for anyone who can't tell). I finally found my charger for my camera battery, so here's some pics too! (And, for anyone who has been waiting for them, I am adding the promised pics to my old posts too...since I have been promising for awhile).










Sock snake

Hmm. I can't get blogger to let me add another pic now, so I will save the rug I am working on now for another post.
